This was my first conference paper presentation and although I have done a lot more since 2005, namely:
ESA Torún in 2005;
ICF New York, 2006;
ISA, Durban, 2006;
UFP, Porto, 2006;
ISCSP, Lisbon, 2006;
ISA RC21, Vancouver, 2007;
Digital Cities Summit, Lisbon, 2007;
ESA Glasgow, 2007;
CLAD, Santo Domingo, 2007;
CQM, Lisbon, 2007;
I thought it was funny to upload the first step here. Therefore, these slides were presented at “European Group of Public Administration†and “American Society for Public Administration†Conference in Leuven, Belgium, June 2005. My co-author Professor João Bilhim could not make it and I was incredible nervous. I also was the first one to speak…despite all the applauses and smiles, I can not remember a single word I have said….
